I purchased 2 tickets for an art event by mistake at 3 x face value (>£180).
Tried to get a refund within minutes after purchase as I realised the fraudulent premium. Customer service could only offer me to ‘list' the tickets at my own risk, no refund could be offered. All this despite the event tickets not even being issued, as the event date was weeks away from the purchase date.
They use all kinds of marketing ploys and visually manipulate prices so the price you pay for tickets ends up being like 8 times higher than what you expect. Unscrupulous. Plus they sell tickets that are invalid.
Agree with the negative reviews - this company are a nightmare to deal with - 20 min wait times on the phone, different staff each time. Sold tickets through viagogo, originally purchased from ticketmaster, which had to be changed to collection at the event (which was a ticketmaster decision, not mine). Viagogo completely ignored my explanation and cancelled the tickets the day before as they don't do box office collection.
Rip off company! I tried numerous times to contact Viagogo, i couldnt get anyone on the phone, i sent letters and had two returned as 'not at this address' even though it was their London address's i sent letters too. I tried e mailing and never got an answer. I was ripped off for over £300, never received the tickets i bought. This is THE worst company i have ever had the misfortune to trust with my money. Stay clear!
I agree with other reviewers re: viagogo. Wasn't aware of there outrageous fees, I would have NEVER purchased anything from them! Tried to cancel my order as soon as it went through and I saw the fees... but no you cant't cancel. Can't even talk to a real person, no how! Scammer site... DO NOT USE! I would have given 0 stars if that was an option!
My daughter bought tickets to see Robbie William in Las Vegas. They took the money from her account. Viagogo now say that they don't have the tickets. I assume they never had them. They've taken money under false pretences. My daughter has booked flights and a hotel. The only reason she was going to Vegas was to see Robbie, now the trip is a complete of time and money. Absolutely disgusted that this site is allowed to trade.
The price they sell the tickets for is higher than the real price (even double, possibly more), but nowhere during the buying process they warn you, it seems to be the regular price of the event... then they add high percentage on your purchase and taxes, however that is clearly indicated. Explanation they give for this is vague and tricky, as if they had no responsibility for the ticket price they claim. In Italy we call it "bagarinaggio" and if done in person it is illegal!
If I could score a 0 I would! Absolutely disgusting how this site treats its customers! I bought tickets for 214 euro for 2 tickets, face value 67 euro. I then relisted tickets to sell. The gig sold out and I queried this with viagogo both by phone and email, they advised that it was showing on their screen that gig hasnt sold out and tickets were still available to sell. I had friends and family check the site also and the gig has sold out. I am left now with tickets to sell myself at double the face value or I lose money. I would never buy from this platform again nor would I recommend, stick to ticketmaster."
We couldn't go to Andre Rieu concert in Wembley. Viagogo offered to sell my tickets. I was told tickets had been sold and the money owed to me was paid into my bank account on the 27th May it is now the 27th of June, and still no money has arrived. My order number was *********. Now the answerphone tells me that they cannot help me with this query. I fear this company is operating a fraudulent scam.
Others have said it, but I would also leave a zero if could.
I purchased two tickets to see Florence + the Machine at the 02 in London back in March 2022. The original show was scheduled for 19th November 2022, however, it was cancelled as Florence had broken her foot. It was then rearranged for 28th January 2023.
The e-tickets for the original show were sent from Viagogo to the 02 app. They were visible on the app so that you could gain entry to the 02. However, there were no tickets on the app for the rearranged date.
Therefore, I attended the 02 earlier in the day and checked with the Box Office. They informed me that my allocated tickets were now assigned to other people - basically resold without my knowledge or consent. I therefore had no tickets for the event, and no contact / refund from Viagogo. I travelled from Birmingham to London for this, including a hotel stay.
Answer: Yes, cheap tickets are also a 3rd party vendor, however they are not over seas.
Answer: They were promoting concert tickets and the tickets were in the prefect location.
Answer: Yes, I've just been fleeced by them. Paid twice the going rate for tickets.
